I DON'T THINK THEY MEANT BETWEEN THE CYLINDER AND BEATER. THERE SHOULD BE CURTAINS BEHIND THE BEATER. DEPENDING ON THE CROP YOU ARE HARVESTING, YOU MAY WANT TO REMOVE THE CONCAVE INSERTS TO GET MORE CROP ON THE SHOE INSTEAD OF THE WALKERS. ARE YOUR RISERS ON THE WALKERS? I THINK YOU CAN ADD MORE RISERS TO MAKE THE WALKERS MORE AGGRESSIVE. ALSO SOME COMBINES HAD A 150% BEATER WHICH WOULD THROW THE CROP FURTHER BACK ON THE WALKERS. CHECK THAT THE BEATER DRIVE AND DRIVEN PULLEYS ARE THE SAME SIZE FOR THE 100% BEATER DRIVE.
